A Small Child in Love

A Small Child in Love - 16 Mar 09

16 Mar 2009 Vrindavan, India

Today in the early morning my friend Angie from Canada arrived at the Ashram. It is very nice to have her here and especially Kanu was very happy about her arrival. For many days he has been asking when Angie would come. He remembers her very well from the last time when she was here in October. He often asked for her and calls her ‘Happy Angie’ because of her jolly nature and her smiling face.

When he saw her he was feeling shy at first hesitating to come close to her and running away from her. But after a few minutes his shyness had disappeared and then he tried to be around her all the time, looking at her continuously, calling her again and again ‘Happy Angie!’ and trying to do anything that could attract her attention, even during dinner. Then I asked him ‘Do you want to marry Angie?’ and he became very shy. I said to Angie ‘He is in love with you!’

And you can see how he is expressing his love. At this age of three and a half years he also has all these soft feelings but he can only express it in that way how much his mind is developed. The feelings are the same that an adult has, just the way of expressing them is according to the development of the mind. We all had much fun with this little one and the love story and we will have in the next days, too. He is so happy and did not want to go to sleep. I took a picture of him with Angie. It is lovely to see this natural innocent love.

Today is Melly’s birthday and we are sending her much love! We will celebrate together when she and Susi will be here in India and we will have a great party!

Not afraid of anyone but God' means being afraid of everything!
Source
Family

Have dinner, lunch or breakfast or maybe all meals in family. It connects you with each other. In this way love can go through the stomach. Share your day with each other, take part in each other’s lives!
Source
God

God is the soul of our souls and lives in everybody in the form of love.

Ego

People usually cannot accept when the other person is different than in their imagination. It is ego. It sounds childish but if you are honest and have a close look at your actions, it is a common attitude in adults, too.
Source
Spiritual

We need to integrate the worldly and material life with spirituality.

Personal

I get mails asking if I can send energy to improve their chakras and how much my fees would be? They used to pay and get energy from other Swamis or some Gurus. I want to make clear that I don't believe energy can be sold or bought and sent in this way for money. Be careful with this kind of charlatans!

Personal

I can’t change my past and I don’t want to. I am who I am and don’t deny any part of that. I keep my personal history open for you to see. Maybe it will show you the way out of a religion, out of a sect, away from a fake guru and from superstition and towards taking your own responsibility.

Cheating

You did not tell your partner that you are cheating but you are trying to tell yourself that he or she would be fine with that. Anytime you do that, whenever you cheat your partner, you actually first cheat yourself with this lie.
Source
Religion

We dont need more temples in India, we need more toilets!
Source
Sex

Possessiveness comes when the mind is involved in sex. If our sexuality is on the level of spirit or soul, possessiveness will not appear.
Source
Feelings

People are not very sensitive towards their own feelings and the feelings of others anymore. It is the biggest loss of today’s time: the loss of sensitivity.
Source
Expectations

Don't expect more of yourself than your natural limits allow!
Source
Anger

If you believe that someone whom you are beating could improve in any way through this, you should follow the same rule. After a mistake, go to someone who is stronger than you and ask him to beat you a bit so that you can better yourself!
Source
Religion

Religions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.
Source
Fear

Not only children believe in ghosts and magic and not only children are afraid. Religion has instilled fear in grown men, too, because it helps them control and manipulate them. There are the stories of ghosts and then there is religious advice what to do against such dangers – rituals, ceremonies and more.

Religion

The importance of religion is getting less and less.

Spiritual

You are not done once you have felt you found yourself. This is you today but who will you be tomorrow?
Source
Yoga

Yoga is only yoga. Without any tradition’s name in front or behind. People have to understand the essence, the real meaning of yoga which is not any specific style and not only physical exercise.
Source
Happiness

Everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!
Source
Change

Inner changes need time, even in a fast food culture.
